Marissa Nadler, New Radiations
The gothic songwriter’s latest collection of bad-dream vignettes feels like a return to the mold she was cast in as she wrestles with the current state of her country through obscured lyrics.

The Black Keys, No Rain, No Flowers
The blues-rock duo sifts through wreckage in search of meaning and growth on their 13th album only to come up with answers that are every bit as pat and saccharine as the title suggests.

JID, God Does Like Ugly
After 15 years of writing and developing verses, the Dreamville rapper has become a master of the form on his fourth album as he finds resolution and comes to recognize his purpose.

The DC-based songwriter looks back on 2022 and the impact of his third solo LP, Cometa.

The power-pop revivalists’ fourth album Asking for a Ride arrives January 27 via Elektra Entertainment.

It’s the duo’s first release since 2020’s Songs for the General Public.

The mini performance features cuts from her latest album Crash and other fan favorites like “Vroom Vroom.”

This Is Why, the band’s sixth album, is out February 10.

Ben Gibbard will be doing double duty on a string of dates celebrating 20 years of Give Up and Transatlanticism.

Her sophomore album RAVEN is out February 10 via Warp.

Her ninth studio album is out March 10 via Interscope.

The single from the group’s recent LP Blue Rev gets a visual treatment from Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone.

Kicking off in May, their tour includes 27 dates across North America.

The new single comes with the reveal that she’s signed to Partisan Records.

The arts collective formed by Kristin Hayter and Campol will also be giving Lingua Ignota’s debut Let the Evil of His Own Lips Cover Him> its first vinyl release.

Both tracks are from her forthcoming sophomore album Honey that’s out January 23.

The Linda Lindas, Phoebe Bridgers, Remi Wolf, Tkay Maidza, Future Islands, Kurt Vile, David Byrne, and more give us songs to laugh and cry to this holiday season.

“I had a best friend, but she has come to pass. One I wish I could see now. You always remind me that memories will last.”

The tribute project is available on streaming platforms for the first time with 18 bonus tracks.

It’s the second single of the year from the Noirwave musician following last month’s “Numbers.”

The remixes are part of the forthcoming deluxe version of PAINLESS that’s out December 14 via ATO Records.

Back and peachier than ever.
